Tue Jun 24, 2008 2:01 am Age of Worms 4e

I converted the Champions Belt from the Age of worms path to 4e and so far it has worked beautifully! We even imported a dragonborn from far Zahindia (an associate of Ekaym Smallcask of Cauldron) to be the group's front man.

I thought a tournament would be a good way to playtest 4e but to avoid giving the pcs too much of an advantage with all their dailies and to help me cope, we agreed to convert the first round to sequential combat bouts rather than a free-for-all. We also added a border to the battle arena so that if anybody steps outside, they are out of the battle - which proved great fun for those with powers that slide or push opponents.

I kept the first round combatants as normal monsters but added 2 members to the grunts so arcane auriga became a 9th level ranger/warlock with 5 level 5 elf archers. Arcane Auriga kicked some pretty good butt too because they were spread out and very mobile.

Badlands Revenge didn't fare so well. A level 9 barbarian druid plus 4 gnoll marauders armed with halberds and a dire wolf. Their pack tactics proved to be less effective against the pcs and they got in far fewer hits before going down.

Each battle took about an hour and I only bloodied 2 pcs. One more round with the Sapphire Squad to go and then Pitch Blade are going to be two elite level 10 fighters. I'll see how they fare...

Overall, it was really good fun.

Tue Jul 01, 2008 12:21 pm This is good

This is great stuff, Paul. Have you done any converting from the very beginning, with The Whispering Cairn?

And, we need to figure out a way to make a comprehensive conversion document, rather than posts on a message board. Some kind of standardized form. The Game System License is a good approach, adapted for personal use, of course (meaning, without all of the legal crap associated with commercial use).

EDIT: I found the following thread, among others, at Paizo.

We played all the previous adventures under 3e and I doubt that I will be able to find the time to go back and convert those too. I confess I was only going to convert the monsters. I figured I could blag the rest as I go.

I think I would prefer a second opinion about the stuff I'd made up. I'm also a bit worried that copying decsriptions of the powers might breach copyright, so I might need to edit those out? Any views?

I don't mind posting all the conversion stuff I've done so far. However, I'm struggling to find a way to make Kyuss worms a threat. It takes so long to cure diseases now I think that cutting the worm out is the quickest method but if they don't figure that out how can you chart the worms progress in 4e?

I've guessed that maybe just apply damage until the target becomes bloodied then move into failed save territory. However, if the target is already bloodied he stands no chance! I was wondering whether the target should be allowed to spend healing surges to delay the worms progress or if a failed save should cost the target a healing surge. Tricky...

Wed Jul 02, 2008 10:22 am

Hi,

I am the one that posted the AOW conversion at the paizo forums. I would really appreciate any suggestions or critique. I would also love to see any of your notes.

I have already worked on '3 faces of evil' and I'm in the middle of converting 'Encounter at Blackwell keep'

I can post any future conversions here.

As for the Kyuss spawn, here was my take.

(NOTE: I added 'Worm Aura' as a twist to the spawn of Kyuss, this was not part of the original monster's power.)

Spawn of Kyuss Level 4 Artillery
Medium natural animate (undead) XP 275
Initiative +2 Senses Perception +3; darkvision
Despair (Fear) aura 5; enemies within the aura take a –2 penalty to
attack rolls against the Spawn of Kyuss.
Worm aura (only when bloodied, see below)
HP 48; Bloodied 24;
AC 17; Fortitude 16, Refl ex 14, Will 14
Immune disease, poison; Resist 10 necrotic; Vulnerable 10 radiant
Speed 4
m Slam (standard; at-will)
+9 vs. AC; 1D6 + 3 damage. Spawn of Kyuss makes a secondary
attack against the same target. Secondary Attack: +9 vs.
Fortitude; on a hit, the target takes 5 necrotic damage and contracts Kyus Gift (see below).
r Worm spittle (standard; at-will) - Necrotic
The Spawn of Kyuss corpse regurgitates a glob of kyus worms. Ranged
2; +3 vs. Refl ex; 1d6 + 3 necrotic damage, Secondary Attack: +8 vs.
Fortitude; on a hit, the target takes 5 necrotic damage and contracts Kyus Gift (see below).
Worm aura (only when blodied), when the Spawn of Kyuss becomes blodied the worm infestation swarms to infect nearby targets. Spawn of Kyus gains Aura(1)
Alignment Unaligned Languages —
Str 18 (+6) Dex 9 (+1) Wis 11 (+3)
Con 18 (+6) Int 6 (–1) Cha 15 (+4)

Kyus Gift
Level 5 Disease Endurance stable DC 20, improve DC 25, Worsen 19 or less

A creature implanted with a worm contracts Kyus Gift.
1) The target is cured

2) Initial Effect: A Kyus worms burrows into the target’s skin.

3) The target takes a –2 penalty to Will defense. Target loses 1 healing surge

4) The target dies, and a becomes a spawn of Kuyss in 1d4 minutes.

Wed Jul 02, 2008 11:53 pm

Cool! I'll dig out my preliminary version when I get home. I went for level 5 since the 3e version was CR5 but I'm not really very sure of the best method of conversion.

SPOILERS:

With the Froghemoth and ulgurstasta I used their 3e CR13 to pitch them as level 13 solos as I thought that any more than that might make their defences too high. I thought that level 13 might just about work out ok as in the froghemoth battle, they will have all their dailies. In the second battle they may have used some abilities against auric's earband but the npcs will be lending a hand so it might balance out.

I think treating a worm infestation as a disease is the best way to deal with it, although I think that curing it with a heal check to cut out the worm before stage 2 is a good idea.

Thu Jul 03, 2008 3:09 pm

This was my version but I confess, the monster generation rules are a bit of a mystery to me at this stage. I really like your worm aura power though that would really freak out the pcs even if the spawn needed 20 to hit them. I think I need to revisit the worm infestation too. I'll have a think over the weekend but all input and suggestions welcome.

Spawn of Kyuss Level 5 Artillery
Medium magical animate (undead) XP
Initiative +1 Senses Perception +3; darkvision
Worm-ridden Appearance (fear): Aura 5; enemies within the aura take a –2 penalty to attack rolls.
HP 50; Bloodied 25
Regeneration 5 (if the Spawn takes radiant damage, regeneration doesn’t function on its next turn)
AC 16; Fortitude 17, Reflex 13, Will 15
Immune disease, poison; Resist 10 necrotic; Vulnerable 5 radiant
Speed 6
Slam (standard; at-will)
+9 vs. AC; 1d6 + 4 damage plus Kyuss Worm plus Kyuss’Gift
Kyuss Worms (standard; at-will) ✦ Necrotic
The Spawn either hurls a writhing green worm or one is transferred as a secondary attack with its slam attack – range 3; +5 vs. Reflex; 1d4 +2 necrotic damage. The worm burrows into the skin, and the target then takes 5 ongoing necrotic damage as the worm burrows to the brain; if the target becomes bloodied he also becomes dazed and at this point the victim must make a saving throw on his next turn. First failed save, victim is immobilised; second failed save the victim dies and rises at the end of the Spawn’s next turn as a Spawn of Kyuss. Spending a Healing Surge allows the target to negate ongoing damage until after the end of his next turn. A Heal check (DC20) can remove the worm as a standard action while a Cure Disease or Remove Affliction ritual can destroy the infestation.
Kyuss’ Gift – Level 5 Disease; Endurance Stabilise DC18, Improve DC22; incubation 1 day.
Initial Effect: The target regains only half the normal number of hit points from healing effects;
Deterioration - The target regains only half the normal number of hit points from healing effects. In addition, the target takes 10 necrotic damage from rotting flesh and dementia, which cannot be healed until the target is cured of the disease.
Deterioration – Target dies.

Cool! He should be solo though since he will be taking in the entire party on his own. If you think a solo brute might be too tough to take on a the end of the adventure, just make him elite.

Fri Jul 04, 2008 2:30 am

Hmm not so sure abot making him solo. This is the end boss, and the players may have suffered a lot of attrition by now. I dont want a TPK. On the other hand he doesnt seem that tough.

I'll see how tought the elite template makes him.

On another note, a big problem I am having is character leveling. Since AOW was designed for 3.5, it assumed a more faster leveling. My players ended WHispering Cairn and barely made it to level 2. Now they are on the way to 3 Faces of evil. I have had to add a whole gamut of extra encounters and side missions to grant them xps. A side effect of this is that the players have really gotten to know and like/hate the Diamond lake NPCs.

Fri Jul 04, 2008 3:20 am

I reduce xp anyway and I don't run all the mods one after the other. After Champions Belt, I'm running part of Castle Greyhawk, some Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, and a few other side trek adventures beofre moving to the attack on Diamond Lake. I want them to think they've stopped the Age of Worms for a bit... assuming they win!

Ok we've finished playing Heroquest; back to D&D. I'll let you know how the conversions work out in practice.

Thu Dec 11, 2008 3:04 am

Fight with ulgurstasta over. If anything, I think our pcs could have coped with the froghemoth doing slightly greater damage and the ulgurstasta could have been one level higher without placing the pcs at greater risk, particularly as it concentrated many of its attacks on Auric. I'll post the stats later this week with my suggested alterations for a group of 4 level 10 pcs (without a wizard though).
